Chapter 128: Liu Erlong's Compromise

After class, Gu Yi headed to his office. He briefly stopped at the door after sensing a familiar presence. Unexpectedly, she came to him on her own. He couldn't help but smile slightly.

He leisurely walked to his office door. The person inside seemed to sense someone outside and became alert.

Gu Yi could feel the mental energy he had implanted in Liu Erlong's sea of consciousness, frantically absorbing fear and other negative emotions.

He opened the door, closed it behind him, and without any pause, it was as if there was no one in the office.

Liu Erlong sat in a chair in front of the desk, her body trembling involuntarily.

Gu Yi walked behind the desk and sat down as usual, took out a book, and began recording martial arts techniques from his mind, completely ignoring Liu Erlong. It was as if she didn't exist.

Liu Erlong remained silent, sitting quietly with her head down. The cold atmosphere continued for several minutes. Eventually, Liu Erlong couldn't bear it, perhaps also due to the constant nightmares.

"What did you do to me? Why have I been having constant nightmares since returning?" Liu Erlong's voice trembled, though she tried to remain calm.

Gu Yi ignored her, continuing his work as if the book was more interesting than the mature woman before him.

If it were anyone else, Liu Erlong would have caused a scene. But Gu Yi was far stronger than her, like heaven and earth apart. She had no means to defeat him.

"What do you want? I've figured it out. If you could use such methods on me without crippling me like you did with Xiaogang, you must want something from me," Liu Erlong said.

The reason Liu Erlong came to Gu Yi was because of this. During the days of nightmares, she kept thinking about why Gu Yi would use such methods on her. It made no sense. Crippling her would have been more straightforward. The only possible reason was that Gu Yi wanted something from her, though she didn't know what it was.

This was just a guess. If the nightmares continued, she would eventually die from mental exhaustion. If she guessed wrong, Gu Yi might kill her, but at least that would end her suffering.

During this time, Liu Erlong deeply understood what it meant to live a life worse than death. The torment in her dreams seemed to reflect on her body, completely unstoppable.

Hearing her words, Gu Yi raised an eyebrow and stopped his pen. He didn't expect Liu Erlong to think this far, which surprised him.

"Tell me, what have you guessed?" Gu Yi put away his pen, closed the notebook, and looked up.

She gambled correctly!

Liu Erlong felt a surge of relief and continued, "That day, you must have done something to my sea of consciousness. Whatever your goal is, it's related to the mind." With no other clues, this was all Liu Erlong could think of, but it was enough.

"No matter what you want, I'm willing to cooperate. Just make the nightmares stop," Liu Erlong said. Rather than resisting to the end, she chose to give up. Liu Erlong wasn't foolish. The power gap between them was too vast.

"Do you know what I want, and you're willing to cooperate?" Gu Yi asked, amused, as he indeed had plans to use Liu Erlong for experimentation.

A bad feeling arose in Liu Erlong's heart. Had she said too much? What if he... had other intentions? She had heard rumors about Gu Yi and Tang Yuehua. What if he liked mature women?

My body only belongs to Xiaogang. While Liu Erlong was lost in her thought, Gu Yi spoke again.

"Really, anything?" Gu Yi asked.

After a moment of silence, Liu Erlong answered, "Yes."

"Good, come here," Gu Yi said.

Liu Erlong hesitated for a moment.

...

No one knew what happened in the office that afternoon. When Liu Erlong left, her hair was messy, her steps shaky, and her face full of shame. She seemed to have lost something.

Gu Yi watched her leave from the window, then returned to his desk. He noticed a puddle on the floor and, with a thought, evaporated it.

Just as he was about to write, Gu Yi thought of a good idea. He couldn't record everything alone. He could have Zhu Zhuqing and others write down the techniques they had learned in their own words. Not copying everything but relying on their understanding, which would reflect their true level.

Knowing how to solve problems didn't mean understanding them completely.

With this thought, Gu Yi put down his pen. Finally, he could escape the tedious life and let them experience the terror of assignments.

But Gu Yi didn't expect a woman to go mad soon.

Shrek Academy

After Flender explained the situation to Yu Xiaogang, there was no response. His cultivation had been crippled, and he knew it couldn't be restored. Years of research made him realize that without legendary treasures to reshape his body, recovery was impossible.

He had searched for years without success.

Tang San felt pained seeing his teacher like this. Unshaven, in greasy, dirty clothes, he reeked from not bathing for days. Anyone who didn't know his identity would think he was a beggar.

Tang San couldn't bear seeing his teacher like this and left the room. He doubted the Nine-Hearted Begonia could help him.

If so, he'd find another way. The medicinal scriptures in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record listed many miraculous pills. If he could refine them, his teacher's martial spirit might be healed.

Tang San decided to search for rare herbs in the Sunset Forest to refine pills. While rare in his past life, such herbs might be more common here.

After all, there were hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts. This world's medicinal resources might be richer.

Maybe Xiao Wu knew something. Tang San remembered that Xiao Wu, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form, must know something from her long life.

If only he could live that long, he might have become a god. Excited by this thought, Tang San set his plan in motion.
